I had the pleasure of working closely with Sushmita & Namrata for a project and I can wholeheartedly recommend them for any design related project. Their ability to transform abstract ideas into stunning visual concepts is truly impressive. They are always willing to collaborate, listen to feedback, and adapt to changing project requirements.

We approached Sushmita to re-design our guest amenities. Namrata and Sushmita gave us a range of bio-degradable, recyclable, and unique amenity solutions for us to offer to our hospitality clients. They are honestly so good at ensuring the product is sustainable but still aesthetically pleasing to look at. They were so great to work with and went out of their way to connect us to the right vendors. I also really appreciated them connecting us to local vendors and women-led businesses to work with.

      Vr̥tta is a design studio-on-the-cloud with a focus on sustainability. Through this venture, we are exploring new materials in the recycled/upcycled/reclaimed space, while solving some of the most gnawing sustainability issues. Life in today’s world is characterised by ever-changing trends, single-use products and reckless consumerism. We believe, that as designers, we are responsible for the impact created through the materials we use, the products we put out, and the way we make. We want to challenge the status quo, by designing products and their systems to be sustainable, throughout their lifecycles.
